Merith drew all of the art on this page. She was inspired by an ancient style of design.
This artist provides a variation in style from the classic design. Many of the original designs were created in monasteries with coloured sand. The monk would and sometimes still does complete the task with handfuls of sand. There seem to be two objectives throughout: The first is the concentration in the drawing that focuses the mind so much, it kind of puts the artist in a meditative state. The second is to express the fleeting and temporary nature of life. This is expressed in a simple way: The moment the piece is finished, the sand is swept away, thus leaving its existence in the memory of the artist and the people who witnessed the birth, the growth and the completion of the work.
There are so many different patterns in this post that it should make for an entertaining viewing for you.
I think that my favourite has to be the second drawing down. It's due to the sheer amount of colour. It's beautifully balanced and alternating with the black and white sections.
The next one is drawing number nine. All of those purples and violets seem to be moving in a veil of colour and tinting the drawing as the wave moves across.
Which ones are your favourites? What is it in particular that attracts you to it/them?
Ps. I gave the images some titles.
